@phl @zed @Stoori @Mimesatwork my experience in UK is "free" toilets are only found in places where you are likely to have been driving (motorway service station), or in fast food places (if its busy no one bothers you if you aren't buying anything, provided you aren't behaving suspiciously) Library does have free toilet but it requires a key which you have to ask the librarian for and is held on a keyfob made from 30 x 20 x 2 cm thick wooden block, and there's CCTV in the corridor (not in the actual loo) - this is to discourage folk using the place to inject class A drugs

@phl I never made the claim that paid toilets are the solution, only that being paid doesn’t inherently make it wrong. Also, Europe is extremely diverse and public toilets in France are usually free, just like the US.
